Project: Creator Spiritus Forums

Thursday, June 11th, 2009

I know I haven’t posted for a while, but I’ve been kind of busy. I’ve been practicing of course, and starting up a new forum.

I will be posting about my piano lesson the other day, later, but first would like to announce my new forum. It is called the Creator Spiritus Forums.

I don’t like to write about religion here, because I’ve mostly written about programming and music, and don’t want to alienate any audience I might have. However, I am a very religious person, and enjoy writing about and discussing it.

For that reason, I started up CSF to have a place to discuss my religious journey, and attempts to live a Christ-centered life. Also to be a place to have engaging discussion with others, regardless if they have the same beliefs or not. I also want to write articles there, which will be featured on the front page.

It still needs some work, such as a logo, but I’m pretty happy with it as it is already. It was started last Friday, and already it has over 100 posts.

So that’s where I’ve been for the last week, trying to get this thing going. But now hopefully I can find some more time to write over here, too, on top of practice and everything else.

Daily Reading

Friday of the Thirty-first Week of Ordinary Time

Reading 1

Philippians 3:17-4:1

We are to imitate St. Paul, as he imitated Christ (1 Corinthians 11:1). We have a model in the apostles. We should keep our focus on God, trying always to draw closer to Him.

This is in contrast to people in the world, who focus on earthly things. They are called the enemies of the cross (Philippians 3:18).

Philippians 3:21 says that Christ will “change our lowly body to conform with his glorified body.” However, this also reminds me that the more we draw close to God and follow Christ’s teachings and those of His Church, the more God will provide us with His grace in order to transform us, and to give us the strength to overcome sin.

Gospel

Luke 16:1-8

This is a parable of a dishonest steward, who cheated his master. When he was threatened with having his stewardship being taken away, he called the clients of his master, and allowed them to take away the portion of their payments that would go directly to him. In that way, he regained the favor of his master.

We all make mistakes. However, this parable reminds me that if we take responsibility for our mistakes, and try to correct them, which may even require sacrifice from ourselves, then, we can regain favor despite them. We should humble ourselves before God, being sure never to be too proud to admit our shortcomings.
